I have an emac OS X.4.2

when I'm on the internet I get a dialogue box asking me if I wish to stay connected. this happens appx every 15-20 minutes. If I do nothing it disconects from the internet.

Is there a way to stay connected for long periods of time without this coming up? It makes it really hard to download upgrades that may take a while.

I'm on a dial-up.

Thank you for any help. This is an annoying problem.

Hello,

Open System Preferences and click Network. Choose Internal Modem from the Show pop-up menu, click the PPP tab, and click PPP Options. Remove the check next to "Disconnect if idle for __ minutes" or increase the number of minutes. From Mac Help OS 10.28
Good Luck,
